Now why is it important to have a queer movies metanode? Well, for starters, they're normally pretty hard to find.. if you don't already know about them, anyway. But secondly, it's a lot to do with visibility.

We need to be able to see ourselves where everyone else can. We need to see ourselves in the very life depicted on film, on stage, and in literature. These things are but a replica of life that everyone experiences.. and we are very much a part of that as much as anyone else.
